Hi all,
We helped a local gallery do an urban art show titled "Urban Visionaries"   Enclosed are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.   Overall the show seemed to be well received and i was very happy how the artwork across thirty plus years worked together in one space.    

Note 1 :  The pieces are not for sale at this time.  The show runs another week and all pieces are part of our corporate collection.  Which we do sell off pieces from time to time.. just not right now. however, if you want to make crazy top dollar offers..well... as they say..

oh, also, we didnt really have blue tape on the wall during the show..  ha .. didnt realize that until i really looked at the pictures.   also, many thanks to many forum members here who have helped us create this collection.  One FAILE piece was purchased and delivered only a week before the show.

Really gratifying seeing many people take pictures with the art, ask great questions, and really get involved.  We also raffled off a Shepard Fairey print and I think we raised close to a $1000 for the local non profit artists workshop/gallery space.

The 2 LA2 pieces look right at home.
What an amazing collection is assembled in the heartland of the good ole USA.

I know they're not all yours daveart but...wow! Nice1

[daveart]

Hey guys.. thanks for the great comments.    Wearology -those are the LA2 pieces you helped me with a number of years back - one of the highlights of my personal art collecting experiences has been those two pieces and meeting LA2.

All the art hangs in our corporate office and I have been working on the collection for over ten years. Many of the Banksy, FAILE, Shep pieces were sourced through the forum over the years and i have really appreciated meeting people on here and finding this great artwork..

A few people inquired .. so this is our corporate page about the art:

www.visionary.com/about/arts/

and a page of information our employees did prior to the show.

www.visionary.com/web-design-news/visionary-art.html

and yes, we did get permission from DFace..

Nicely done David…fantastic collection and very cool exhibition. It's great to see that our HED went to a good home and is getting some attention. Congrats again!

[daveart]

Thanks Cardiff - the HED has quickly become a favorite of a few people and definitely a great part of the collection. It was interesting picking the right mix for this show.. we left a lot of good art out and tried to focus in on things that all worked well together.. also showing the re use of imagery by FAILE was a key part of the show. so we used multiples of the dog and bunny girl images and left other images behind. i will say however we totally understimated how much time it takes to package transfer un package and hang all this art.. whew. not looking forward to reversing that whole process later this week..

That Happens Everyday is a stunner! Looks like a great show!
